ABSTRACT:
A novel periodontal procedure for performing periodontal treatment including the steps of applying anesthetic to the area to be treated and making an incision on the facial side of the most posterior tooth and continuing the incision toward the most anterior tooth. The incision begins at the distal facial line angle of the most posterior tooth on the facial side of the arch and is made at about a forty-five degree angle to the plane of the tooth, forming an inverse bevel within the coronal portion of the pocket. A similar incision is made on the lingual side in the same manner. The incision is reentered to separate the facial, lingual, and papillary tissues from the underlying connective tissue so that the separated facial, lingual, papillary tissue may be removed, thereby removing the coronal portion of the tissue pocket and initially exposing root surfaces. The remaining tissue pocket is then removed. Soft tissue tags adjacent to the incised areas are also removed. Next, gross bacterial accretions on the root surface are removed followed by fine bacterial accretion removal. Post-treatment procedures to aid healing include light scaling of the teeth in the treated area followed by polishing of the teeth in the treated area with fluoride prophylaxis material and applying about a 30% trichloracetic acid to the facial, lingual, and proximal areas about seven days after treatment. The post-operative procedure is repeated seventeen days and thirty-one days after treatment.
